WASHING MACHINE Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC D06F37/30 

FIELD: mechanical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: washing machine has drive engine with stator attached to bearing housing. Stator includes magnetic circuit, upper and lower isolating covers adapted for covering of upper and lower surfaces of magnetic circuit, respectively. Upper and/or lower isolating cover has circular flange protruding inward from inner peripheral surface of this cover. Flange has a plurality of first mounting apertures, and bearing housing has a plurality of second mounting apertures corresponding to first mounting apertures, by means of which apertures stator is attached through bolts to bearing housing. Flange has upwardly directed positioning projection, and bearing housing has positioning groove formed on edge portion of its outer surface so that positioning projection is inserted into positioning groove. Flange is disposed in predetermined position on bearing housing so that first mounting apertures of flange are aligned with second mounting apertures of bearing housing.

EFFECT: simplified and quick assembling of stator.
